Stayed here 3 times ....the place is strange...the rooms on the other side are not as bad as the rooms closer to the freeway....appear to be a lot of homeless folks in the units, too. Cheap rooms equal bad housekeeping and deferred maintenance. A little quality control regarding cleanliness would make this place more attractive. Kept thinking about bed-bugs after... More

Look, there are no bargains in hotels. This is the cheapest inn in Costa Mesa, and it shows. You can't control the temperature in your room. In Fall/Winter/Spring, the vent blows hot air, and there is nothing you can do about it. The place is filthy, and the service is poor. But hey, it was cheap. More

I was fully satisfied with everything. It is a nice clean place and everybody especially the manager is very friendly. This is why I decided to stay more than three months. More

Good points about this hotel. It was next door to an In and Out Burger It was close to the business meeting I was attending. Close to restaurants, grocery stores, and great access to the highway. Okay breakfast. Cereal, muffins, juices. Price is what you pay for. Don't expect a lot and this will be okay to lay your head... More

Hotel was a good value for the price. Beds were comfortable, TV was fine, restroom/ shower was clean. We stayed two nights and they cleaned our room very well. Nice location by the highway, close to fast food restaurants. Short, quick drive to the beach. More

I complained and even asked for another room due to a lounge chair and ottoman with several stains. The second room had the same dirt and stains. The maintenance guy tried to replace it with another but even the replacement was stained. I could not believe any hotel would present disgustingly dirty and filthy rooms. The carpet was dirty with... More

I have been enjoying staying with the 'Vagabond Inn' chain up & down California, for years w/ no complaints. I am a frequent Traveler therefore the perks the chain provide add a bonus 'incentive' (10th nite free) and have been consistently a good, solid econo-option. Having to be in Costa Mesa over-nite on business, I decided to stop at the... More

Although this place is close to beach cities, I'll do my best next time to shop around. pros - decent prices -exceptional continental breakfast cons -non smoking rooms aren't really non smoking. They smell like smoke and the scars of cigarette burns in the carpet show the truth. -their "premium cable channels are a joke. you get like 10 channels... More
